Fix the drip
or replace the tap.

A tap dripping once a second wastes thousands of litres a year, and it won’t stop on its own. The question is whether yours needs a cartridge and a seat, or whether the fixture is finished and a new one is cheaper over the next five years.

TAP REPAIRS & REPLACEMENTS IN IPSWICH

Finding the cause.

The plumber finds the failing part, usually a worn cartridge, a damaged seat or a perished seal. If the part is available and the fixture sound, they repair it. If the fixture is worn through or the parts are long discontinued, a new tap beats paying to keep patching.

A new tap has to suit the installation you have. Mounting, connection type, spout reach and clearance over the sink matter as much as the showroom look. Check whether a quote covers the tapware or labour only. The two often appear as one number.

What to send us

Send a photo of the tap and, if you can look safely, the area underneath. Include the brand or model if visible, describe the fault, and tell us if you have picked a replacement.

What moves the price

Fixture type, whether parts are still made, the connections underneath and access set the price. For a new tap, compare product and installation costs separately. Typical tap repairs & replacements prices in Ipswich ↗

WORTH KNOWING

What people ask
before they book.

Should I repair or replace a dripping mixer?

It depends on the cause and the age. A quality mixer with an available cartridge is worth repairing. A ten-year-old budget fixture with discontinued parts usually isn’t.

Can I supply my own tap?

Ask before you buy. It has to suit your existing set-out, and you need to know who carries the warranty if the product fails. Both are easier to sort out before the box is opened.

Is a leak under the sink always the tap?

No. Supply connections, flexible hoses, the waste and the trap all leak, and a braided flexi-hose that lets go does far more damage than a dripping tap. Find the source before replacing anything.

How much does tap repairs & replacements cost in Ipswich?

These are indicative ranges, not quotes: the licensed plumber prices the job once they see the tap and the fittings behind it.
